advice from a jet whore....
no idea on stall speeds, I do all that by feel, usually to cruise over UAV trailer very slowly for maximum wrench repair. Its usually not a good idea to slow down for any reason actually other than that. Speed=life in most cases unless you are in the f35 and utilize the hover stall to out turn other jets at slower speeds. Most people don't know you can level out between 800 and 850 in the f35, hit ABs and juice up to mach 3.5 and outrun missles, the hard part is getting back in bounds at those speeds.
To bomb you have to dive bomb basically, come at around 45 degrees and don't pull up before you drop bombs or they will spread out. that is unless you are bombing ground troops and would like a good spread to get multiple kills . Its a timing issue that does take practise. Soften target up with guns on the way in helps too in a lot of cases. One bomb might do the trick if you get good MGs on it for a second. Keep targeting on AA and switch to AG at last moment so the tank won't hear the alert beeps and take evasive action until it's too late. after awhile you can even learn to bank and sling bombs sideways at targets that are trying to hide next to/under cover.
All top pilots I know all use a joystick. the joystick gives you steady thrust and it allows programming of all the buttons to give you the most options at your fingertips. I even macro program one of the buttons to spot enemy which helps my team and myself if the jet banks out of view...its still flashing on my HUD. I couln't even begin to know how to do more advanced arial manevers without a joystick such as an inverted split S or a yo-yo underflip. The f35 is the most stable and reliable fighter jet for bombing and best one to learn on imho. Gulf of Oman is pretty flat and easy to bomb on...the biggest worry you have is the crane or trees, but the terrain is pretty open. No pesky mobile AA on that level either.
